To Catch Squirrels.

4 farmer named Corner, Of Roane
county, W. Va, has invented a new
plan to catch squirrels, which has
proven a great success. He has a large
colnfield which borders on the woods,
and which the squirrels have almost
devastated during the past season. Oh
serving that they retreated to the woods
along certain line of fence he cover
Cd the tops of the rails of the fence
with tar. The squirrels succeeded in
clearing the fence, but when they
struck the woods the leaves and sticks
stuck to their feet so badly that they
could not climb the trees. The first
capture amounted to twenty-seven, and
within a week Corner had killed and
captured over one hundred squirrels
by his unique device.
